[s-cars] re: Any experiences with Zender wheels?

[LL - NY]

Had hubcentric rings on my American Racing AR24's for my ex-Auto-X GTi. 
The rings worked well, the only real sticking point (quite literally)
is that they
sometimes stuck to the hub, and it was hard to get them off (no access
to the backside due to the hub shape and they are slippery). The use
of properly fitted
centering rings should be no cause for concern.

The ones I've had have all worked quite well - tight fitting, tight enough to hold  wheel to hub while mounting, the rings never showed any signs of wear.  I certainly would not want to use the wheels without the hub centric rings.  And it's not something special for Audis - the hubcentric rings are used on most make/models.
